The MA Global History is an English-language program. Applicants to the MA program must prove with their application that they have English skills at C1 (CEFRL) level. Please refer to the Language Requirements section for more details.

No, you must hand in your language certificate with your application, as we do not offer conditional acceptance.

There are two cases where you would not need to provide an English test certificate. 1) If you have studied for at least one year at an English-language university in an Anglophone country, then that would be sufficient, or 2) If your bachelor’s degree also had a C1 level English requirement, then that would also be sufficient. Otherwise, you would need to take a standardized English test and include the test score with your application documents.
